Should you breast - feed mothers infected with Ovid-19?

New mothers infected with COVIED-19 must continue breast - feeding and should not be separated from their babies. This is the World Health Organisation (OBSH) statement this Friday, adding that breast-feeding benefits go beyond any risk.

WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebrreesus said at a virtual press conference, that the US health agency has investigated about the risks mothers can transmit to their babies when feeding them by breast.

“We know that children are at relatively low risk of COVID-19, but are at high risk from many diseases and other conditions that prevent breast - feeding”He says.

“Based on the evidence given, the advice of O The U.S. is that breast-feeding benefits exceed any potential transmission risk of COVID-1950He added.

Anshu Banerjee, senior adviser to O The U.S. for reproductive and responsible health in the study said that until now, the living virus that causes COVID-19 has not been found in breast milk.

“Mothers with COVIDD-19, suspected or confirmed, must continue breastfeeding and not separate from their babies, unless the mother is in poor health”, It ends Tedros.
